Methi Mouri Murgi( Fenugreek and Fennel Chicken)

 Methi Mouri Murgi:

 I announced today that I am going to make Chicken for lunch. My son loves chicken though my husband not very in favor of it. So after my announcement, there are mixed reactions in my family. I said I am going to make a new type of dish with fewer spices you will love it. In my mind, I am thinking to make Methi Mouri chicken.

Methi(Fenugreek seeds) and Mouri( Fennel Seeds) has a distinctive flavor and aroma. I believe these two spices have magic on it. After having various types of chicken dishes I made this dish with very few ingredients. The aroma and the flavor make the dish into another level. Even you don't need Garam Masala in this dish. You can have it with any rice items or flatbreads.
